The Republicans

I know this is most likely the case, but any sources confirming this?

I vaguely remember reading in Jean Edward Smith's bio of him that he didn't vote; more generally he avoided getting involved in partisan politics prior to the 1952 election, to the point that both parties talked about drafting him in both 1948 and 1952.

Despite his apolitical public posture and his moderate presidency, Eisenhower was personally pretty conservative and my guess is that he privately favored Republicans for the most part during the 1930s and 1940s.

Yeah, since Wilkie and Dewey were internationalists, I'm sure that Ike had no problem voting for them, though he probably would have voted for FDR/Truman if Taft was the GOP nominee.

Would Ike really vote against the man who put him in charge of the entire military? I also know that Ike opposed Hoover’s handling of the bonus army.

My assumption would be for FDR in 1932 and the R-candidates subsequently. Maybe, just maybe, FDR again in 1936.
